We undertake our policy work in a variety of ways.
We work closely with our members to understand the issues that are affecting them and their clients.
We use data to evidence this. We work with a wide range of external stakeholders and seek to influence decision-makers so that we can improve the landscape within which our members operate and improve the lives of the people they support.
We represent AdviceUK and the interests of our members and their clients by sitting on a wide range of committees and working groups. We raise the profile of our policy work by speaking at events and through the media.
